Now that is a horse of a different color...



Yep folks, that horse is GREEN! Only in the Irish capitol of the Midwest would you find a green horse! So while I was out getting pampered and spoiled by my sweet hubby...he took the boys to the St. Patty's Day parade. I am totally aware that today is not St Patty's but this little town just happens to have one of the largest celebrations for St. Patricks Day I have ever seen. Yes, everyone is in green and yes there is a lot of drinking involved over the course of 3 days. We were told by people at Jay's work to not go near the main street after 8:00 p.m. over the weekend. We have been told tonight that it is like a miniature Mardi Gras, so this little Morman girl will be keeping herself in!

However "J" did have fun at the parade and when I called to see how it went his dad said he loved it especially the $5 cotton candy!




Here is the parade leprechaun, "J" didn't know what to think about him!
(you can see him in the brown sweatshirt with his head tipped).


This is one of the many old John Deere tractors from the 2 Cylinder Club.
These men rebuild these old tractors and the are quite pretty.

How do you even begin to make a horse green? Fun but crazy!

You forgot to mention what you were doing.....where were you being pampered? That sounds like another post.... :D

If you didn't see...you have been tagged to post a pic. You go to your 6th picture folder (hopefully this isn't your secret naughty folder!) and post the 6th pic. You then pick 6 more people to do the same.....6...6...6...Have fun!
